Features: Junior English Extended Reading (Grade 8) and Junior English Extended Reading (Grade 9) are designed to improve English reading skills for junior high school students. Each book consists of 36 lessons, with each lesson featuring an article of approximately 1,000 words. The content primarily includes familiar fairy tales and stories close to students' lives. After each article, information such as word count and difficulty level is provided. The difficulty levels are categorized as follows: 70–80 (relatively difficult), 80–90 (easy to read), and 90–100 (very easy). The higher the number, the simpler the article. The difficulty coefficient of the articles in this book is mostly above 90. It is recommended to read each article twice: The first time is for quick reading to grasp the main idea of the article; then, answer the comprehension questions at the end to assess your understanding. During the first reading, you can record the reading time and calculate your reading speed based on the word count provided. The second time, read carefully with appreciation to understand the details. After reading, it is suggested to review the article and the vocabulary and phrases marked in the notes, then complete the "Language Consolidation" exercises. The "Language Consolidation" section requires writing the Chinese meaning of words or phrases to reinforce the vocabulary learned. The second part focuses on practicing important sentence patterns found in the article. If you don’t understand why certain words are used in the original sentences, that’s okay—the goal is to develop a sensory understanding of these patterns, which will become clearer over time. Through this practice, you will truly grasp the essence of grammar learning. Each lesson includes a humorous story in the "Fun Zone" as a reward for your hard work reading. In Junior English Extended Reading (Grade 9), there are several interesting IQ tests that can help you develop your intellect in a relaxed and enjoyable way.
